Chatfield
Sells DCL Shares

Jeff Chatfield has announced his sale of 18.1 per
cent of shares in Data and Commerce Ltd (operators
of Melbourne radio stations 3AK and 3MP) to Radio
Australia Pty Ltd, a private company associated with
Brisbane-based Mike Norris. Norris started his career
in Brisbane radio in the 1970s with Brisbane AM station,
4BH, which at that stage was the bottom rating station
in Brisbane. "In just over two years, Radio 4BH
rose in the ratings from number 8 to the number 2
radio station in Brisbane," Mr Chatfield said
this afternoon. Mr Norris says he wishes to have 'open
dialogue' with the current board of DCL (which is
headed by Ron Hall), and that he hopes he can assist
with radio experience to add shareholder value to
DCL.
